Party Hard!

We had a pretty good 4th of July.... We were going to a party at Scott Taylor's house and then we went over to Moms to watch fireworks..... Scott had a small PA set up and for a while everyone was sitting around listening to people sit up there and perform, but then after we ate they went into sitting around and playing together which was much better..... Of course thats right when we had to leave.....But not before Scott and Don did "Minor Key", "Dance with the Gypsies" and "Truck Dog", most of you don't know that last one, it is a Scott Taylor creation and really good actually..... Ask him next time you see him to do it for you.....Donnie wasn't much good for playing anyway after all those gigs and studio time last week.... He was just done musically......Thad found a woman at the party and we saw very little of him... he was too busy playing badmiton with her.... He always finds the girls and they always like him too.... It's pretty cute. Dillon is always with the kid that is the one stealing the....well wait, what is that thing called? The badmiton thingy that you hit? I probably can't even spell the name of the game right... but thats what I'm calling it... It doesn't matter, Dillon is always the one who finds the kids who moon you, steal your stuff and climb up a tree with it....



Kenyon and I cooked for a good part of the day to take things to the party and to Moms.... We shopped together and met another weirdo in the downtown Homeland.... We usually do... this lady is a professional storyteller who say Fran Stallings is her mentor, so I know she is for real... Anyway, she was pretty cool, she gave us a recipe for something that we made, but I don't know what to call it... so I will just say it was pink and the kids ate all of it. We usually meet someone at Homeland, there are always a bunch of weirdos there.... which is cool, because I shop there too.....not to mention f0r some reason people talk to me like crazy even though I don't know them. Maybe my kind soul just radiates out to them and they know I am someone they need to know.... or maybe they are crazy and they talk to everyone. I don't care. Sarah, are you reading this? You know how you are supposed to take something to a party to share? I'm thinking about this because we were shopping for food to share, right... and when it says on an invitation to bring a side dish...... Well does a half bag of opened Tostitoes count? I know someone who brought one, Again.
Stop laughing. I'm serious. It wasn't my party, but it sure irritates me when people slide by all the time and think others don't notice. How long has that bag been opened? How many other parties has it been schlepped to and brought home and then to another gathering? Jeeze!


I also have to say I love Donnie Wood, but man, I love me some Don Morris. Isn't he wonderful???? Don has been looking at property to buy up here..... We would so love to have him up here, it would be so easy to have him eat dinner, work on projects and all kinds of other things. He is so kind, talented, and just plain old good to be around. I like the way he says "yeah" too. When we get on the phone it doesn't matter if it's a quick call real quick and your holding your keys in your hand while you dial, you will be on the phone for an hour, and it's ok.

Katherine is coming next week with the kids, it is going to be a very exciting time. One main reason is because she has one of the most precious baby girls in the world besides miss Maura Lee..... MAry is the cutest fat faced girl I have ever seen in my life and I am going to pinch her cheeks till they turn red. Johnathen is her older brother and he is a trip. He has been described as "freakishly smart" and thats pretty much on cue there..... So we are going to have a massive party at Aunty M's out in the country and to tell you the truth, it is going to be hard to go home from there. The pond is full, horses, llamas, all kinds of things... We are going to go to the water park in Ks and also go to the Jenks aqarium and riverwalk where Donnie played last week... Very cool place..... I got the kids vacation planned and even though we will be right here in NE Ok and the immediate vicinity, we will be on vacation with our family and party party party! We are going to shoot
fireworks at the slumber party, and we are bringing a tent so Donnie can sleep by the pond but still hang with his sister some.... I bet he ends up with some boys out there........
Well, thats pretty much it, things are going good, having a good time with the kids, getting pretty far on the house, and all my cats are healthy. Do you need anything else?
